Abstract
Replacement of older systems with modern integrated and modular systems can be used to improve repairabillity, reduce failure rate, improve availability and reduce costs. In this paper the results of replacement of an older system with more a modern modular system is presented. Measures of repairability, failure rate and availability are computed before and after the replacement to show that a substantial improvement in all reliability measures is obtained. Adherence to these procedures may be used to improve the reliability of many existing systems and reduce repair and maintenance costs in various industries, especially in developing countries.
